Forest Creek Golf Club
About
Designed by Dick Phelps, Forest Creek Golf Club has been named "Best Public Golf Course in Central Texas" by Golf Digest as well as "Golf Club of the Year" by Club Corporation of America. Phelps' design features plush, narrow fairways, and its namesake Forest Creek that comes into play on 11 holes. Many of the holes dogleg, and its most difficult holes are the long par 4s. These holes are especially evident on the back nine, with holes 10, 15, and 18 all playing well over 400 yards. The 15th is the most difficult, playing a bogey-welcoming, par 5-like 472 yards.

18th hole Photo submitted by BrandonTuckerGA on 11/13/2016
Great condition
For being hotter than 9 kind’s of heck the course is in great condition.
Excellent course returning for sure
Great experience overall. I’m a beginner, hence I screw up more when I’m being rushed. We were rushed once due to the other players in our group had a flight to catch so they wanted to play fast ahead of us, but we kept our normal pace. Staff was overall friendly and the price you pay for 18, is worth considering what’l all is included with the t time.
Great Course
My group of friends and I were visiting Austin for a Boys Trip and we found Forest Creek to have the best deal hands down. The staff was friendly and the course was good condition given it its been 100+ in Texas all summer. If you are visiting Austin and are looking for a great deal ($87 for cart, a beer, and a big dog), than I recommended Forest Creek.
Excellent Course
Fantastic course to play in! Fairways and greens kept in fabulous conditions. Friendly staff overall great place. Definitely will come again!
10/10
Awesome experience. I play often and recently moved to Austin from Florida. I’ve been able to play the majority of the public courses in the area since I moved but I can confidently say this one is the best. This course and their staff checked all the boxes going above and beyond. Great Saturday round. Absolutely will be back. This might be my new favorite course
Great Golf Course
Clean facility , friendly staff and great service .overall .
Will play again.
Course itself ground were kept well, some holes were challenging and fun.
Worth the drive
Very nice the greens are like carpet compared to most courses this time of the year.Cudos to the maintenance crew.I would definitely recommend this course.
We are very happy you enjoyed your experience. See you soon. Thanks.
starting time delayed by an hour due to no carts available. no range balls available to practice with while we waited. no urgency to satisfy the groups waiting to play.. no ice in the cooler
Walking hot
Didn’t even play, was told I had to share a cart or I could walk or leave. So I went somewhere else that didn’t have an incompetent policy.
Thanks for trying. Sorry that your personal feelings did not align with our necessary polices. Hope you played well during your round. Take care.
Thanks for your great review. See you soon!
If you like cuddling with strangers this is your place
Scheduled a tee time for myself to go play this afternoon, was not notified that I would have to be sharing a cart with a total
Stranger, maybe I’m being unreasonable but sitting hip to hip with a total stranger for 4-1/2 hours is not my idea of a relaxing golf outing. I’ve enjoyed this course when I had people to play along with but I did not know singles were discouraged this way. I have always avoided going by myself this was my first and last attempt at it. Thanks for ruining a planed good Saturday afternoon Forrest Creek….. I may be back but it won’t be for a while. The customer was not put first in this situation which is the way of the past these days.
Great Value, Great Conditions
First time playing here and the course was in great shape for being so scorching hot lately. Everything was lush and green. Looked like the greens were aerated recently but they still rolled well. If you play before 2pm, you get a free bucket of balls. Drinks and a hotdog at the turn was a great price, and so is the round itself. You could easily pay double at other local courses but the value here is practically unbeatable. Front side is tighter and you need to hit the fairway to score. Tons of doglegs which you can shorten if you can cut the corners. Back nine is more open but you can easily find the trees and end up with bogey or worse. Staff was friendly and welcoming. I had a great time and will be back.
Thanks so much for your positive rating and commentary. We hope to see you again soon!
Thanks for your 5-star review. See you soon!
